Pro-U.S. rallies planned nationwide (FR mentioned)

A coalition of organizations is organizing multiple rallies across the country next weekend to give people who support military action against Iraq a chance to publicly take a stand.

"We feel it is critical for Americans to stand together to demonstrate to our fellow citizens, our soldiers, our nation and the world our resolve to support our troops, stand in opposition to terrorism and terrorists, and endorse the liberation of the Iraqi people," said Bob Johnson, national director of the Free Republic Network, and Jason Harding, executive director of Young Americans for Freedom, in a statement.

The two organizations are sponsoring what they call "Liberty Weekend." The also have the support of the American Conservative Union, the National Federation of Republican Assemblies and the College Republicans.

"According to a recent CBS News poll, 69 percent of Americans support the use of military action in Iraq. Removing Saddam Hussein from power and eliminating his weapons of mass destruction is a necessary step in ensuring the safety and security of Americans and of freedom loving people everywhere," said the statement.

The Free Republic Network website has posted information about the rallies, including a U.S. map where visitors can click on a location to find the rally nearest them. There also is a page for those who want to organize a rally and have it posted on the site.

While currently there are approximately 30 rallies scheduled, Johnson predicts that many more will be planned before next weekend.

"I think we're going to have over a hundred," he told WND.

In promoting the rallies, Scott Swett, chairman of the Free Republic Network, rhetorically asked: "After all, why should the leftists have the streets all to themselves?"

I can't believe it isn't already posted. I looked, but couldn't find it. I apologize if it's a duplicate, but I figured, better post it twice, than not at all.

I think it's great that there is publicity being given to these pro-US rallies and the FR.

We had our first one a month ago in Orlando, and our second one two weeks ago in Clearwater. There's one coming up in Sarasota next weekend.

The Fornicalians will never catch-up to the Floridians, and none of us will ever catch-up to the Washingtoonians - they're the best!.........FRegards

Kathy, flag the Toon-kids over here, sweetie. I love all you guys. Computer-brain-fart while upgrading, and I haven't found the addys yet.

I swear, letting me have a computer is like giving a machine-gun to a frog! It's gonna be noisy, and probably not much good will come out of it!

I know some of the names of the Regulars - Kristin, Dr. Raoul and others, but I can't find my list yet, and youse-guys ARE the best!

Smootches, honeybaby,(I'm in the South).........FRegards

Yes, you looked good sir. I would suggest an email link emailed back to your broadcast buddy Roger Hedgecock might help yield more airtime for next week's rallies!

This is a significant boost for the Rally for America, since WorldNetDaily has literally millions of readers.

They did a nice job with the article... let's hope they leave it up for a while.

This is a nice touch!

I have received several calls over the course of the last week looking for local rally leaders which the press can talk to!

I think that is a positive thing!
